Does anyone know any app that is the equivalent of or provides same functionality as "Archos Video" app or "Allshare" samsung app.
I am looking for something that is a DLNA client - has the ability to connect to home network DLNA server such as Tversity or Windows Media Player and play videos
I haven't tried it on my nook, but the app "Skifta" is a generic DLNA app ... available in the Market
EDIT: just realized you are looking for a client, not a server .... sorry ...

No Problem. Thanks for trying to help.
I'm still looking for the right combination of Server & Client. Here is my experience so far:
Mac OS DLNA Servers I'm testing (Twonky Server, Orb, Majestic, Playback, MediaLink). I want to stream Music, Movies and Photos from the iMAC/Server for playback ON the NC.
Twonky Mobile (not twonky Mobile Server) worked best for me. It played Movies, Music, and Photos from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server. My only complaint is the quality of playback is not consistant. But this may be caused by my WLAN bandwidth/coverage.
UPnPlayer worked as well. I did not care for the UI and playlist process. Also, it locked up when I tried to play/view photos. It played Movies and Music from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server.. The best thing about UPnPlayer is that it let's you choose which APP will actually Play the media (i.e. stock music player or Doubletwist, Stock Video or Rockplayer, etc.)
2Player - I was able to see all the Server applications. But it would not present the media folders from several for them. I was able to play music from Orb and Playback. The interface was my favorite, but too bad it just for music.
EML UPnP - I didn't like this one so I did not test it much. But it was able to see most of the Media Servers. Appeared to be Music only.
Hope this helps
I know therebis a WMC app as well as one for VLC.

Hi
My girlfriend has an android tablet that she wants to play music from, the music is on my NAS.
I use iTunes on my computer for editing audio files on the NAS , even my girlfriend thinks it's easy to use iTunes when you can have playlists and it is also easy to just select an artist or an album.
I have a lot of MP3 files and she does not want to listen to all of them.
So I need an app that plays MP3 songs from my NAS and you should be able to create playlists.
I have search google play and read many forum threads but found nothing.
My NAS is a LaCie CloudBox 4TB
Make suggestions and i will I test them
Nothing?
Have i put the thread in the wrong category?
I uploaded several albums to Google drive but i can only play one song at a time through poweramp. Anyway to steam music and full albums and such?
Hi,
I'm using the default Samsung Music and Video player. How can I access to my DLNA-enabled NAS to view my music and video contents?
Thanks.

I'm using Fiio Music app at the moment but not having great success with my S10 Plus. But it works perfectly on my LG. Try it out as I think its the slickest totally free app from an audio device company.
Mediamonkey has metered network streaming and they nag to purchase the full app. The layout and aesthetics is not the best.
Foobar2000 player for android is free and works but it is the most clunky but possibly with the some other foobar add-ons the most flexible player and remote for play back on other devices.
My old HTC M8 had it built into the bundled music app, sure miss that.
Hi Guys
I currently have most of my own mp3s uploaded to google play music (not subscribed) which works very well, but obviously when google goes to youtube music i will not be able to play my own music unless i subscribe (to which i currently subscribe to spotify at the moment)
I also have all my music stored on a local media pc to which i have jriver running and i can use the app from my phone to send music to all my google home / minis
Is there a way i can get google to play my music from my local media pc using voice control from the google home as once google music goes i will lose the ability to play from google music as you have to subscribe to youtube music
